Next time you buy from FBMP, its worth thinking about where the tools came from. Seems pretty obvious in this case, but I'm sure he had a good cover story.... https://wtop.com/howard-county/2024/05/the-scope-of-this-investigation-is-enormous-15000-stolen-tools-recovered-in-howard-co/

So in my quest for more garage space I ended up with a house that has a few electrical gremlins (here and here, among others less noteworthy) as well as the star of this thread, two 1989 vintage Challenger Panels. The bus bar in one is definitely in need of replacement as one stab is...

What's the cheapest durable floor coating for a normal garage? I've done 2 layer epoxy with flakes a few times and had great results but I really can't justify spending a ton on a floor coating for this garage. Part of me says go with a 1 part epoxy like Behr, which I've had good luck with in...

Curious who heats with wood as their primary heat source. Where are you, how big is your house and how much do you usually burn per year? Me: Northern Virginia, 3500 SQ ft, about 3-4 cords a year. I do have a heat pump that fills in the gaps when I get lazy, it gets really cold or we go away...

Executive summary: I have a frantic HVAC tech (that has never been to my house) trying to scare me into getting an electrician to fix my loose neutrals. So I'll try to make this as short as I can, its a bit of a long story.... Last winter when it was really cold (5 degrees, that's cold in VA!)...

Nice looking garage, gotta say I'm a bit jealous. Seems his neighbors are too!

Looking for some general paintable outdoor caulk recommendations. Dealing mostly with wood to wood gaps (some wood to masonry) and looking for a good quality caulk that is easily smoothed/blended with the adjacent boards. I've used mostly the DAP 230 and it never really lasts, it seems to...

I've been looking to replace some 30 year old 7x9 doors on my house. They're in pretty good shape, but I'd like to make the garage look a little more modern, I don't think the current doors ever fit the lines of the house that well. I've looked at Clopay and Haas, and there are some good...

I'd like to get into a litle bit more into home HVAC DIY. I've done car AC as well as minor DIY stuff for home. I'm proficient in cleaning the units as well as giving them the basic flashlight treatment. I'd like to pick up a set of gauges and start doing full yearly inspections myself. What...

The goal of this thread is to document my 4 post lift install and show what all is required to get one home and setup. TLDR - Yes its possible to get a lift home and built solo, with only basic tools and a trailer rental, but you'll really want help, especially for the unpacking and runways...

So I had my garage door converted from a traditional to a high lift. I guess one of the benefits of the traditional door opener vs that jack shaft was that it put a little bit of pressure in the middle of the door to snug it up against the door frame. The door is a cheap builder grade and...

So one item I seem to need on a regular basis is a regular push mower. I have a messily two (compact) car garage. My craftsman 22" mower takes up as much space as a motorcycle and a half. I'd love to figure out some way to store it and not take up valuable space. The back yard isn't an option...

Quick intro and review of epoxy coat. With a new house and an old house sale, move and new baby, I figured things weren't hectic enough, so I thought I'd coat my floor in the new house before moving in. Bonus points for packing away most of my tools/gear before attempting to do this. After...
